The interview had a good and friendly vibe. They asked a lot of general and practical questions about how I would react in certain situations. I don't recall the specifics, but it wasn't difficult, mostly behavioral questions.

The people and environment here are great, and while it's tough to get into grad school right now, I'm trying again next year. The student body is great, though the location is pretty remote. Storrs can be fun if you know people, but it can also be lonely if you don't.

I sent in my application with a cover letter and resume, then I had an interview, and after that, I had to answer some questions in writing. The interview happened online, and then I emailed my written answers back.
